Shake the living, wake the dead

[Strongbad]

This appears on a car decal outside of my office window. Has anyone seen similar ones? A fellow co-worker asked me what it meant. I said that it's a Jesus thing, an exhortation to reach the lost in Christ, since unbelievers are dead in Christ and dead to rights and life and everything else, apparently. That's the second Christian that has asked me ... me ... what it means. That's just funny. Of course, I'm not 100 percent certain that's what it means, but around these parts where there's a church on every block, there isn't much guesswork involved.

Perhaps it is a reference to Matthew 27:51-53

51And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

52And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,

53And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

This is the accurate and well-documented account of exactly what happened immediately after Jesus died on the cross.
